So I have been back in the county for just a week now and man this week has gone fast! I had intended updating you before now but as I say I just cant believe this week has gone so fast.
Anyway I'll tell you all about my jollies :)
We had booked 16/17 nights away way back in December and it seemed to take forever to come around. We hadnt been to Florida together for exactly 3 years (Matt had been with his mum and dad one year) and when we were looking at holidays Florida always seems to come up. We decided to go for 17 nights because basically it didnt really work out any more expensive so we figured why not have the extra time there.
We were due to fly on 30th May from Manchester to Orlando (via Philadelphia - basically because we saved ourselves £100s doing it that way and we did it last time we went and it wasnt too bad) and on the 29th May, my friend from work had booked for Me and Matt to stay at the Radison Blu at Manchester Airport. She always stays in the hotel before she goes away and thought it would be nice to do too as it takes the stress away. It was good because it also meant that Matt was able to drive as being a week day when we flew, there was no one to easily take us to the airport.

After we had a lovely stay in the hotel we then made the 2 minute walk (literally - it was so lovely to not have to faff on the morning we were flying) off to Terminal 2 to find out our flight was delayed by nearly 3 hours. It actually didnt feel too bad, I think maybe because we hadnt got up at the crack of dawn to be at the airport, we basically just rolled out of the hotel to the terminal. We basically spent the 3 hours mooching around duty free (which would have been a lot more dangerous if I had taken my bank card but I did make a sneaky purchase on the mac counter).
I dont want to go into a whole break down of what we did on every single day of the holiday. But basically we had a lovely time. We had tickets for all the parks so we did all of the Disney parks, Universal studios & Islands of Adventure, Sea World etc so we had a great time checking out all of the parks!!! I thought i would just share with you some photos of the holiday - I didnt actually take too many photos - well I took about 500 but it is not as many as I have taken when I have been before! So here is just a few to share with you!
Oh course you have to have a photo with Micky! And yes that is a Mac I am wearing, it was chucking it down!
This has got to be one of my favourite places & sites in Orlando :)
My first ever visit to iHop! Such yummy Banana and Strawberry - so naughty but so nice!
The biggest and best nachos EVER at Millers - you can not even imagine how big this is! So big i only eat a quarter and took the rest back to the hotel in a container.
I'm not sure you can comprehend this photo properly - see the water by the car - that was where the road flooded one day when it rained really bad!
Apple Shop goodies! All the overtime was deffinatly worth it!
Rocking the Micky ears at Magic Kingdom!
With Pluto :)
And of Course the Castle!!!
It was such a lovely holiday although it seems like a bit of a distant memory now! I have got a few bits that I brought when I was out there to tell you all about and also a few products that I took with me that I want to review for you so stay tuned for that.
